Green Day concert June 1st Emirates stadium!! :) I'm going!! Is anyone else? :)

I've signed up to newsletters and stuff, but still no luck. I know some bands do advertise it, like Muse did with War Child 2013, but most don't. :) Thanks for any advice.

I still wouldn't say they wee pop, because that's popular music. And judging by their recent chart positions, they are definitely not popular. Also, if you listen to their earlier stuff, you can easily tell it's not pop. I agree that they WERE more punk earlier on, but wanted UNO to be power-pop, DOS to be garage rock and TRE to be stadium rock. DOS is definitely garage rock, it's just like Green Day's side-project, Foxboro Hot tubs! :) Also, even though power pop has the word 'pop' in it, it isn't popular really, it is mostly underground. It is described on Wikipedia as a mixture of hard rock and melodic pop. Also, Jimmy Eat World's amazing single, The middle is considered power-pop,even though they are obviously pop punk or emo.

Phew parents evening is OVER!

I wanna live in California - England is so cold and wet and horrible! :(

Does anyone else like the song Sex Drugs and Ciolence by Green day. I do. It's not my favourite song on TRE though.

You think Green Day are pop??!! :confused:

If coldplay do actually do that death metal thing then the songs won't hat well, won't get much airplay and will confirm my sad belief that rock music is becoming extinct as there will be no more high charting rock singles!! Oh no. The albums do fine but now all the rock awards are going to ed Sherran (who i do not like!) :( :/ :)

Ok I see your point :) it's annoying now that GDs trilogy wasn't even really pop punk! :( :)

IS THAT TRUE??!! Nooo!!!! I like metal but most of its about deaths me drugs and swearing. How the hell will coldplay manage that :/

Also doesn't contemporary mean "at the same time" or "modern". And Green Day and Coldplay are alive at the same time so I guess that does make them contemporaries of each other. But I only got an A in English, not my best subject. :) :) :D :D

Good. :)

Oh god now! I'm not daying foo fighters are po punk or muse but they're rock which pop punk is part of :)

Because they've done a triple album and the last page of this thread was about double albums! Also they're not too old! Blink 182 are the same age. So are foo fighters. Muse and coldplay are only a couple of years younger than then. So sorry but I don't really get your point. An from the replies I've got when taking about green day were not so good so I guess I'm the only one here go lives green day as well as coldplay!! :( :confused: also green day's previous album was released in 2009 and they were 37 then, which is like one or two years older than Coldplay are now. Most of the singles on green days 2009 album charted well. So did American idiot in 2004 and they were about 32 then which isn't that younger than coldplay are now. Also all of the five singles from that album got to 3 5 11 8 and 17 in the UK charts!!!!. The album sold 14 million copies in the world. :) go green day! :) :) But I guess that's just your opinion :/ :)

Yeah I think Biffy Clyro did a double album. And there was a feature in NME a couple of months back about how double albums are disasters waiting to happen! Not sure I agree though. :/ also Green Day's trilogy was good but I can understand why the singles didn't chart very well. Hmmm.... :)

Thanks :) I read the first link on the seller already but I just wanted to cross check my sources. :) Appreciated

I just created this thread because I've referly come across this eBay seller called king.benny. He sells ton of autographed pictures for about £10. And he does not state that they are re printed or whatever. He says he gets them backstage. I'm not calling him a liar but I just wanna know if its worth me spending money on an autographed pictures of coldplay or is it too good to be true? Thanks in advance. Xx :) Also other ebay related talk is also welcome. :)

Haha lol I agree

Yeah I know. :/ I don't know ALL the lyrics but Wake Me Up When September ends was a massive hit so I just kinda thought everyone knew the lyrics. Oops I guess...

Yeah Lady GaGa is talented, like Adele. But I still couldn't care less about their music. But that's just my opinion and I don't like their genres

I agree :) it's like, my friends who don't like rock or whatever call Coldplay lame and gay, Green day stupid and scary and Muse weird and ugly!! WTF!!! :/ I'm a middle class white person and I think that Art is something you have to connect with and have a real passion, it's about putting across your ideas and views and kinda how you interpret life and its meanings. Not akout how much money you can make and how auto tuned your voice has to be to sound even vaguely barable.

Yeah I kinda agree with that. I think simple lyrics are the best. I myself have only written about 30 songs but all my friends say that the shorter simplistic and sort of less structured ones are best

Yeah I mean there's nothing stopping Coldplay doing dub step but I just don't think its the right path for them. It worked for muse as they'd re able to use extreme sounds to make their stuff SO EPIC!! :)

Oh god I'm not comparing them! :thinking: But Green Day are my second favourite band and I think Coldplay are more than capable of doing something epic like a rock opera. And they're not even the same genre of rock. :)

Could coldplay do a rock opera like green day my chemical romance and queen? You know cause green days American idiot and 21st century breakdown had main chars cheers a location and a plot so did Mylo Xyloto but none of the other coldplay albums
